Little Closet of Horrors

First, I want to start by saying that I am not a messy person. Chaos, clutter and disorganization drive me crazy. I like order, and the ability to locate things when I want them.

However, my current closet situation doesn’t do a great job of accommodating all of my things efficiently. Actually, not many things in this house do yet…

I warn you, what lies behind this narrow door may frighten you.

And even when I manage to get it looking like this (minus the boxes of Christmas gifts that have to remain out of sight and out of reach):

it doesn’t stay that way for long. Not because it’s stuffed, almost to capacity, but because I have to move things in order to get to other things, and I don’t always have time to put things back once I’ve reached whatever I was trying to get in the first place.

Plus, I’m short. It’s impossible for me to reach things above the highest clothes rack without a step ladder…and whenever I pull out the ladder, I’m joined by a small child who needs to climb the “mountain” at that very moment.

I really need a professional better solution. I’m adding new closet organization to my Christmas List. Yup.

That is all.
